It was the Hindu god Ganesha’s birthday yesterday and the two Indian boys that work for us had an event to go to so they left early. They came into today bearing food, mostly Indian sweets. Take a look at the Laddu!

Whats a Laddu? Wikipedia defines Laddu or Laddoo (Hindi: ?????; Urdu: ???) as an Indian, Pakistani,Oriya and Bengali sweet that is often prepared to celebrate festivals or household events such as weddings. It is made of flour and other ingredients formed into balls that are dipped in sugar syrup.

Here are more sweets. Can you name them all?

Wanting to be spontaneous after our last minute trip to Genting highlands failed due to us not being adventures enough, Sara and I decided to drive to Kajang and eat some of its famous satay. Which restaurant? Now there are many places to eat Satay (Sate) here, but we decided to go to one of the famous establishments, which is also a chain restaurant with branches elsewhere. The satey here is still cooked on charcoal fire and the place is nice and clean. We ordered 10 Chicken at RM0.60 per stick, 10 Mutton ar RM0.90 a stick, 10 Deer at RM1.30 a stick and 2 Beef Livers at RM0.60 a stick. I wanted to order some Rabbit satey, but there were sold out. We also drank a coconut each at RM3.50. We were stuffed! The food was good, though the chicken satey was much better than the more expensive meats. I wished they had rabbit, as I am sure that would have been nice and tender.

The best tiramisu I have ever had and arguably the best in Klang Valley though I have yet to try Sara’s one. You have gotta try this place man. My friend says the food is good there as well. The owner Christine is a chatty babe who is just fun to talk to. I have heard people drive from miles away (actually shah alam) just to take home 1/2 a cake

Sara’s mum and nephew were up here in KL this weekend and we wanted to bring them somewhere nice to eat. Not really sure where to go, Sara decided to bring them to a place her boss sometimes brings clients called Extra Super Tanker in Damansara Kim. The photo’s above are not the dishes we ordered, but were taken by somebody else at this restaurant too.

What we ordered was Wild Boar, Fatty Pork Meat, A Vege, A Special Tofu Dish and a Very nice fish, which was the most expensive Item on the menu. The fish cost us RM110. The rest of the dishes were quite cheap but the food was great!! I loved it.

Sara and I decided to try this place before Saturday service and we regretted it to the max! The service was terrible and the food was way bellow par. I think people go there just to eat something while drinking beer. I think I will never eat there again! Sigh
